Location
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate – just click one of the icons below or follow the directions further down:
The dirt road starts here, just after you turn off the main road:
The run-site is further in – you can use this Waze link, but if you put the same coordinates into Google Maps it will take you the wrong way, past an orchid farm.
To make sure you don’t get lost, it’s also a good idea to read the directions below:
Directions
• Get to Ulu Yam Baru any way
The B23 Jalan Hulu Yam Bharu-Batu Caves road is a good way from most starting points, but you can also go through Serendah (use the Rawang or Sungei Buaya exit from the N-S highway) and Antara Gapi
• Zero your tripmeter at the bridge over Sungei Liam, just before you enter Ulu Yam Baru town.
• At the t-junction immediately after the bridge, turn LEFT towards town.
• At 0.9km, in the middle of town, turn RIGHT onto the B113 towards Genting Highlands.
• Pass the Balai Polis on your left.
• At about 2.1km the road bends sharply to the left.
TURN RIGHT HERE AT THE SIGN ‘LADANG BATANG KALI’ (small tarmac road)
• Then take the first right into the estate (earth track) and continue about 0.7km to the run-site
Some parts are a bit tricky for low-clearance sports cars, so we suggest you leave the Ferrari at home and bring the Perodua instead.
The runsite has plenty of parking near a small stream – or maybe a big stream after all the rain.
Please watch out for small kids when you drive in and reverse into a parking space!
Note: It’s always a good idea to bring insect repellant, for mozzies, etc.
And it’s always essential to bring a change of clothes, plus a water bottle to keep the kids hydrated on the trail.
On On!
